And I think my point was that a curfew will keep idiots off the road in case there are issues, thus allowing police, emergency responders and other crews to concentrate on any problems should they arise. Not that hard to figure out.

Good luck and be safe.
Same here. Winds have been bad for about an hour now. I thought they were bad this afternoon but now we are getting the worst of it.

I guess you never considered with no power the alarm system's on the pharmacies, liquor stores and electronic stores would be useless thus turning the city into a free for all much like New Orleans after Katrina. Not that hard to figure out.

ROFLMAO! Oookay, that has nothing to do with what we are talking about but thank you for attempting to contribute. I know it's wrong for me to laugh at the meek and stupid, but I can't help but find your posts hilarious

Having several good house-shaking wind gusts here near Scranton- yuk. Binghamton NWS office describes the worst winds through 2am, then very slowly starting to taper off. I'm really relieved to have no flooding rain.

Oh I read the posts...It's my mistake to think senior citizens can reason beyond the obvious. It must be a daunting task to decide what bingo table to sit at each day.

Winds now up at around 35 MPH sustained in Southern Allentown with guts to 60 mph.
Power is currently flashing but so far so good.

Well... it wasn't quite a storm update, but this afternoon I read of one case of looting in NJ. I'm sure that there are more.

I'm sure there are, but that still wasn't the point.
